Honey Orange Glazed Acorn Squash

I suppose you could do this with our butternut squash too...

Honey-Orange Glazed Acorn Squash

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons honey
2 medium acorn squash
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice

Stir together butter, sugar, and honey until smooth.

Cut squash in half. Scoop out seeds and membrane. Arrange squash, cut sides up, on roasting pan. Spread half of butter mixture evenly on cut sides of squash. Bake squash uncovered, at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Stir together  remaining butter mixture, zest, and juice in small saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter melts and brush half of orange-butter mixture evenly on squash.

Bake, uncovered, 20 more minutes or unti squash is tender and golden, basting occasionally with remaining orange-butter mixture.

Carefully transfer to a large serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture
